Nepal wicketkeeper Aasif Sheikh has been praised for deciding not to run out Ireland batter Andy McBrine after he was accidentally tripped by the bowler.
“We speak so often about where the spirit of cricket has gone,” the commentator said. “Take a bow Aasif Sheikh. I’ve got goosebumps here in the commentary box because that’s a touching moment.” Ireland ended up winning the match by 17 runs.

Not a run out but Greg Dyer. Case closed.

I can provide you a long list mate but this is a disgrace forever when it comes to spirit of game. Chappel went for underarm last ball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkQRERykq5M

It's a Nepallingly good gesture.

Can you cite an instance where an Australian player has run someone out under similar circumstances, or are you just sniping for the sake of it?

It's the complete opposite of what the bogans who represent Australia would have done.

Outstanding piece of sportsmanship
